My deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Maria
whom will be sadly missed.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Maria through my best friend Achilles of which l am grateful.

She shall be remembered as a happy and kind person with an abundance of knowledge and advice to give.

I will never forget her and the mornings when l would go and see her for a coffee and hear of her amazing adventures around the world and about her life.

My heart goes out to those she left behind through this difficult time and may she rest in peace.

Our beloved Yiayia,

Our hearts are broken, but the memories will live on & be cherished forever. You were the best yiayia a kid could ask for. Your love, support, care & big warm heart of gold will be missed. Very grateful we got to spend time with you before we left on our world trip in May, bringing flowers every visit. On the days we didn’t buy them your great grand children picking some especially for you.

I will never forget one of the last conversations we had about the notes I wrote you when I was a kid in the fish & chip shop saying “ I love you yiayia” and how you kept them in your bag for years…

Our love for you will never end Yiayia, Rest peacefully 🤍🕊️✨

We also send our love to all our family during this very sad time.

Dear Helen and Achilles and family

Please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss of your beautiful grandmother and mother. I cannot begin to imagine what you all are going through but I am sure you can count on each other to get through these tough times. She may not be with us but definitely with you all in spirit moving forward.

Today shouldn’t be a day of sorrow. It Should only be a day of celebration of her wonderful life and the amazing memories you have together with her.

God bless to you all

Love Damien and Melissa
